  • Abstract
    The highly compact antenna proposed in this communication consists of a judicious association of equivalent magnetic current source with equivalent electric current source. This composite antenna presents a directivity radiation pattern analogous to one of the microstrip ceramic antennas but can be used at low frequencies. The antenna measurements confirm the promising performances obtained from electromagnetic simulations.
